Lucy was really sick this weekend. I'll fill you in on the details. Lucy was really winy and clingy on Monday and Tuesday then on Wednesday she had a really high fever that I couldn't get to go down. She woke up on Thursday with the fever and I could tell she was having a hard time breathing and she wouldn't eat or drink. I called the doctor and went in at about 2:30. The Doctor looked puzzled as to what she had. He said that she had RSV which doesn't really have a cure because its a virus. Lucy had RSV almost a year ago and baby's usually tend to get it only once but they can get a different strain of it again. It usually only occurs in Children under two. I went home and she took a nap. When she woke up I could tell she was a lot worse. Every time I gave her medicine to get her temp down and try to make her feel better I could hear the air in her stomach from the way she was breathing. Tyler came home and we took her to the emergency room. I sat in the room with her for a half hour with her crying the whole time. Lucy doesn't cry unless there is something really wrong so I knew that this wasn't normal. I could hear the doctor talking with the nurses out in the hall just chatting about stuff. The doctor came in and checked her for a minute and said oh she just has a cold. WHAT! Lucy had colds before and this was not a cold but she was the doctor so I listened. We went home and we were up all night with Lucy. Friday morning Lucy was still horrible. Tyler's mom came over for a while and helped me because I was supposed to go to LA to do hair and make up for a wedding I was debating whether or not to go but while Dayna was there Lucy seemed to be a little better. I left at 2:00 to go down to LA. Dayna came back over after work and noticed that Lucy seemed to be giving up. She still couldn't breathe she had a high temperature she still hadn't eaten or drunken anything. They rushed her to the emergency room. She got brought back right away her oxygen level was a 71% Its supposed to be at 100% with in 10 seconds there were six nurses around her with the doctor (a different doctor) yelling out orders. Lucy ended up having pneumonia in both lungs, she was severely dehydrated and had RSV. They sent for an ambulance to take her to Maderas children's hospital where we spent 4 days. Now we are home and Lucy is on antibiotics and an inhaler. Thank you everyone for the prayers and support. We are so grateful to our mothers for helping us through this whole thing and we are soooo glad its over!!
She tried to plug her oxygen monitor into her monkey.

It must have been so aggravating to not have any help until she was in such pain.
I'm so glad to hear she's better. Nothing is worse than having a sick child & not being able to do anything about it.
Although it doesn't look pleasant to be in the hospital, she still looks so cute! We can't wait to see her.
I am so glad she is okay. I prayed for you guys every night! That would be a very scary thing to go through....okay..this is too centimental....I need to say something funny....um......you looked ridiculous on the Ellen show! Haha love you!!!
We are sure glad Lucy is almost back to 100% and her perky little self! We can't wait to see her once she is better.
You & Tyler did it - you were quite the troopers through the whole ordeal - great job!
I thought you looked cute on the Ellen show - Elyse was running around yelling, I see Katy and Tyler!!!
Katy and Tyler-- I'm so glad that your little Lucy is okay. We had no idea that all this was going on. One thing I've learned over the years with my own health situation is that doctors don't always know everything so we have to become our own advocates for our health. If there's ever anything we can do, please let us know. But glad that all is well now.
We are so glad she is home. We love you Lucy!!
os glad she is getting better!
by the way- I totally just saw you on the ellen show during the little girl singing from dream girls! ahh! so lucky!
We're happy Lucy is better too! Isn't that the hardest thing to deal with, when your kids are sick or hurt and there's not a lot you can do about it?
Im glad she's feeling better. I was so scared when I heard but it seems everything has turned out alright. Thanks for being there for me.
